Hi ladies!
As my DH and i habe decided to TTC I took the last pill in my packet on 17th December and had my breakthrough bleed start on the 22nd and end on the 26th. Now the wait begins to see whether my cycle snaps back to normal and of course whether I concieve! I had been on microgynon for circa 3 years.

Is anyone else in a similar position and entering 2019 pill free!? I thought this would be a good place to track and share our experiences as they happen!

We are now 21 months off the pill and 19 TTC... today is the first day I'll be taking letrozole. Hopefully it helps ovulation. Blood test on CD21 then go from there... wishing for a Christmas miracle.

Hi @whatsthecraic91
Glad to hear from you :)

I'm now 10+2 and suffering from terrible morning sickness! I never did get a first period after stopping the pill but I'm sure of my dates has had an early scan.

Good luck to all those still ttc and to those who got their BFP's xxx

@DaniX91 thank you! I will hopefully have some news to share soon! Wow 17 weeks already! A little girl! How lovely! x

@Moonstone12 I didn’t know you had got your BFP! I must have missed that! Congratulations! Sorry you are suffering so badly, it will all be worth it in the end! x

Main update with me since Aug... I'm officially off the pill now. It will be a week on Saturday ish.. been bleeding since Tuesday... not sure what's going on at the minute!

I'm trying to log stuff on the Ovia app, we were away earlier in month and it said that was my most fertile window and we DTD quite abit while away! I was half arsing my pill tbh as well!

Just taking things easy and enjoying feeling the urge... my hubby has been away since Tuesday and back Friday I can't wait to jump his bones 🙈🙈🤪

Hi Ladies 👋 can I join in on this, or is there a new thread? This is all very new to me, and I wish I had done more research before. I’m 26, stopped taking my pill on Monday. I would have though my 7 day break bleed or my withdrawal now? Would have started yesterday or today but nothing as of yet. I have brought some OPKs and thermometer which can be used with femometer app. I’ve also got some folic acid. Should I get anything else, should I be doing particular thins? So many questions, any advice greatly appreciated 😊

whatsthecraic91 · 30/12/2019 13:21

@DaniX91 you popped into my head today! How are you? Must not be long for you to go now? 😊

Would be lovely to hear from the rest of you too!

Ah thanks for thinking of me! Im
Doing good thanks. 34+1 today! I’m actually in hosp at the moment. They’re checking on low lying placenta which looks like it’s moved enough now so I’m delighted with that. They think babys tummy is on the big side now though so waiting to see a doc to talk about what they want to do next.
Hope everyone else is doing really well x

DaniX91 · 30/12/2019 17:40

@whatsthecraic91 aww how lovely of u to think of us ☺️ I'm 29+3 today. It's all getting very real and a bit scary now! How are u doing? X

whatsthecraic91 · 31/12/2019 11:12

@Kinsella82 hope everything is ok?

@DaniX91 lovely to hear from you! Wow that’s crazy it’s flying in isn’t it!! Hope you’re feeling good! Awk well I’m still here and not pregnant! I have a GP appointment for 2 weeks time to see what’s up. Mad to think I started this journey a year ago!! Not letting it get me down, I keep saying my future child isn’t destined for this decade so hopefully 2020 is my year 😁

Happy new year all x

DaniX91 · 31/12/2019 12:17

@whatsthecraic91 it really is flying, think it'll go even quicker once I'm back to work next week too 🙈.

DaniX91 · 05/05/2020 13:02

@whatsthecraic91 Oh wow congratulations! Sooo happy for u! How are u feeling? Yea Daisy was born 3 weeks early on 22/02/20 weighing 6lbs 8oz. She's now 10 weeks 3 days old! I was induced early cos I had pre eclampsia, ended up being a traumatic birth and I was really poorly afterwards but we're good now ☺️. 15 days in hospital but I'm just thankful it was all before this lockdown.
Really nice to hear from u and even nicer than it's with such good news ❤️ x
